The Enigma of Amigara Fault aka the holes comic is pretty high up there.

“Cars may work fine in the Netherlands but they can’t possibly work here. Here we have fog”

Nope, I think most banks are actually closing some branches in favor of online service.

We build betting shops and fast food places.

This is the only book that’s ever given me a nightmare. And you should 100% read it.

In case you’re serious. The comment I was replying to suggested that telecom companies could disable texting by detecting who is driving using the phone’s movement data. But that movement data will be the same for the driver and the passengers, so they only show that you are in a vehicle, not necessarily driving. So using this would also block texting for passengers which doesn’t make any sense.

Well exactly, but they’d have the same movement as the driver

What if you’re a passenger? But also how could they enforce it if you’re just using data through a chat app? If they disable data, that means they also disable maps and navigation.

Meet has been the only video/call app I’ve never had any issues with. If it wasn’t owned by Google it’d be great.

Out of curiosity are you on wayland? At some point teams stopped letting me share my screen (there wasn’t even a button) and it was around the time I changed to wayland so that was probably why. I haven’t tried it since then so maybe they fixed it but it was pretty weird.

Funny thing, I initially wrote “is” but changed it because it felt wrong. Somehow replying to a thread about English fluency makes you second guess everything :D

Pretty fluent I guess. Most of the media I consume are in English and I never have issues understanding things (at least for US and UK content). I also think in English about half of the time. The main problem is my accent, which is terrible and trips me up a lot when trying to speak. This is one of the parts you don’t train too much when most of your communication in English happens with other non-native speakers.

Just gonna leave this here (for desktop at least): https://github.com/codebicycle/videospeed

one kid thought he was rich enough to buy a house. Trying to tell him he’s not and he thinks I took his money (and started crying, but also became friends?).

I don’t know about confused, have you ever talked to a toddler?

Pat Boy - Mayan, which sounds amazing in songs. Eg. Xiimbal Kaaj

Ana Tijoux - Chilean Spanish. Eg. 1977

Same is possible in Thunder through Anonymous Instances but you also can’t interact with the posts.

Old SD cards are so convenient. Pair them with a small USB card reader and you can carry a bunch of temporary storage in your pocket without buying anything extra.

Climbing is fun but climbing outdoors requires mountains. Getting to mountains requires a car, or at least people willing to drive you.

So that’s how you really get Dick from Richard. TIL

Nope, this is one of those underfunded-public-sector type of things of south/east Europe. Winters here are pretty mild so it wasn’t anything crazy but it still sucked being cold most of the day.

It isn’t unreadable, you just need to keep in mind that the first line will be used as the post title. The Firefox community gets many Mastodon posts and most look ok
